💡 CheatCode #121: Spend Attention Like Money
Focus is your only nonrenewable currency.
“What you pay attention to grows — what you ignore starves.” — James Clear
We budget money but spend attention recklessly. Every scroll, meeting, and micro-distraction is a silent withdrawal from your creative balance sheet.
Attention management isn’t time management — it’s value alignment.
If your attention doesn’t compound toward something meaningful, you’re working hard but investing poorly.
Audit your focus the same way you’d audit finances. Every yes costs you something invisible — energy, clarity, or potential.
Why it works:
✅ Builds awareness of cognitive opportunity cost.
✅ Prevents decision fatigue and mental overdraft.
✅ Reframes productivity as mindful allocation, not constant motion.
Today’s Challenge:
Track where your attention goes for one hour. Was it an investment or an expense?
Final Thought:
Protect your focus like capital — because attention bankruptcies are harder to recover from. -1% CheatCode
